Organic Senna Leaf

Senna Leaf – Cassia angustifolia

Senna Leaf is prepared from Cassia angustifolia, a botanical also widely classified under the accepted name Senna alexandrina. Senna has a long history of traditional use for occasional constipation, and its leaves naturally contain compounds known as sennosides.

Unlike many everyday herbal teas, Senna Leaf is used specifically for its laxative action and is intended for occasional, short-term use rather than as a daily herbal beverage.

Senna has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine as a stimulant laxative. Its naturally occurring sennosides act within the digestive tract and are responsible for the characteristic laxative effect associated with the herb.

Senna Leaf has an earthy, mildly bitter flavour. Because of its distinctive taste, it is sometimes combined with complementary herbs such as peppermint, ginger or fennel.
